In 2022, after the passing of my father, I instinctively returned to a habitual creative process that had carried me through difficult times before.

Layering images and experimenting with intense colour. At first, this was simply a way to cope.

The act of photographing, editing and building up layers, shifting compositions, and introducing a new way of looking at the world in such a dark personal time, vibrant colours helped me process what had happened. Asking why had life fractured the way it did, and how might I begin to move forward?

Over time, this process grew into something larger. It became a visual diary of grief and transformation, curating the movement away from the life I once knew and toward the great unknown.

The work reflects a tension between chaos and creation, loss and possibility. It mirrors my interpersonal outlook between memories and future, between the weight of absence and the resilience required to keep creating.

As I approach the end of my studies and step into the professional world, this project acts as both a closing and an opening.

It marks a transition, from making art as a means of survival to creating as a conscious being.

What began as a way to heal has evolved into a body of work over this period that welcomes chance, reminding us that creativity is not only a tool for processing the past but also for visualising new concepts and new visions ahead.
